Zwischen:Räume - International Art Festival Eggenburg

What's it about?

The Zwischen:Räume art festival takes place from May 28 to 30, 2027, in Eggenburg and offers visitors the opportunity to meet artists and learn about their works. During Zwischen:Räume27, flags of artists from Ghana and Austria wave for four weeks at the main square of Eggenburg. The festival is part of the Viertelfestival Waldviertel of the Niederösterreich Kulturvernetzung. Eight flagpoles are located on the pentagonal main square of the city. In May 2027, they will display 16 artistically designed flags from artists from Ghana and Austria. The exhibition opens on May 28, together with the Zwischen:Räume art festival, and will be on view until June 27. The festival's theme for the flag exhibition is 'Citizens' and Human Rights.' The occasion: in 2027, Eggenburg celebrates 750 years of city rights, and Ghana marks 70 years of independence. The flags pose the question of what freedom means and for whom it applies. They are not meant to provide answers but to keep questions open. The collaboration with Ghana is coordinated by the Nubuke Foundation in Accra and the respective embassies of both countries. Parallel to this, the festival opens up abandoned and otherwise inaccessible locations in the old town, as it has since 2021. Seven sites are occupied by seven artistic positions, and the artists are present on site. New are guided tours into the regional history of Eggenburg at the Krahuletz Museum. The organizer is the non-profit association ZwischenRaum, founded by Christina Dörfler and Manuel Wandl.
